Chapter Eighty-Six: The Thief Screams to Catch the Thief
Qi Niang has not yet arrived at the western suburbs, and she is already covered in cold sweat.
She has only walked these few steps, why is she tired like a dog?
"Lady, why don't we rest first?" Hanka asked worriedly.
"No, it's not a good place to stay for long."
Finally, I arrived here in a hurry, but Qi Niang was stunned. The western suburbs gate is in front of you, there is a row of houses on the left, and there is also a row of houses on the right, all the way through, it is dark, you can't see the end at all, and the outside is the same, how do you ask them to find it?
The black light is blind, not to mention that Banxiang is also timid, hiding behind himself and shaking like chaff.
"Where's Xifeng Garden?"
"In ...... Still ahead. The half-scented cat was headed, and the hand pointing to the front was still trembling.
Hey, if I knew she was so afraid, I shouldn't have let her suffer as she supposed.
Qi Niang regretted it for a while, and in desperation, she had to place this girl in Xifeng Garden first, and then find it herself.
Walk through the hand-copying verandah, turn a corner, and it is the West Maple Garden.
A guard carrying a lantern walked by.
Qi Niang pulled the half-incense, the cat bent on the waist, and the figure flashed, and she entered the hospital.
There was no dust in the room, and there was a faint smell of burning sandalwood in the air.
In her previous life, she was very sensitive to this smell, especially when she was motion sickness, smelling these things, her body and mind were very comfortable, so in her previous life, she liked to go with her grandmother to burn incense and worship Buddha.
However, why does Xifeng Garden have this smell, is it true
Qi Niang was overjoyed.
"Banxiang, wait for the lamp, no matter what you see, don't call it!" She instructed, uneasy, and continued: "Forget it, you just cover your mouth and close your eyes now." ”
Banxiang was stunned when she heard this, but she looked at the lady with a serious face and hurriedly did so.
Qi Niang reassured herself to light a small candle, took it and looked around, and as expected, two black coffins were placed inside, and there was still a wisp of green smoke scattered from the long incense that had just been extinguished next to her.
Qi Niang covered Banxiang's mouth with one hand, "You can also take a look." ”
The little girl obediently opened her eyes, and when she saw it, she was immediately frightened and took a few steps back, but she didn't shout, she squatted directly under the table, her hands were blindfolded, and she trembled.
Well, that's the legend - cowardly as a mouse?
Qi Niang couldn't help but the black line, "Then you just squat here, I'll take a look." ”
Hanxiang continued to tremble as if she hadn't heard.
Qi Niang was powerless to support her forehead, and walked to the first coffin by herself with a candle, and a small one was placed behind her, thinking that it was the maid's.
The coffin had been covered, but it had not yet had time to close, and by the faint light of the candle, a fine slit could be seen.
Qi Niang said that she would do it, rolled up her cuffs, grabbed the corner of the coffin lid and moved it away with difficulty. Sanniang left too suddenly, and the house didn't dare to be too blatant, it is said that the coffins were quietly asked for by the eldest aunt to accompany the room, and the things prepared by the next person were no matter how good they were, so this hijab was not as heavy as imagined.
Little by little, she moved away until it was convenient for her own hands, and then she stopped to catch her breath.
With a light in one hand and a scouting in the other, it's a bit scary to look at! Sanniang has been dead for nearly a day, and I heard that she has been soaking in Cuiwei Lake for a long time, and now she looks like a steamed bun with a bubble, white and fat, all of which are swollen, like an inflated balloon, and it seems that it will explode "bang" in the next second. However, from head to toe, no signs of poisoning were seen.
Qi Niang carefully brushed away Sanniang's hair again, looked at the lamp, and found no wounds, only saw a circle of bruises on the neck, she took the candle close and looked at it repeatedly, yes, it was indeed a subcutaneous bruise, and there were even finger imprints left next to it.
Her eyebrows darkened, and the answer in her heart became more and more affirmative.
Sanniang was strangled to death, and then sank in Cuiwei Lake!
Who hated her so much and killed her?
Until she returned to the warm pavilion, Qi Niang's heart was still depressed. But what made her even more sad was that her grandmother and Wu Niang lied to her, it was true!
This matter, whether it is for Sanniang or not, she is in charge!
Early the next morning, Qi Niang found Si Niang.
She thought about it carefully last night, since she wants to do it to the end, how can she do it without an ally? He is the first rookie radish, has a faithful half-incense, but is also a coward who can't do anything, besides, my grandmother is silent about this, and the upper and lower mouths are too sealed, she acts alone, and becomes cannon fodder every minute.
With Siniang is different, not to mention that she is a god-like teammate, at least she is definitely not a pig teammate, she has grown up here, has incomparable life experience, in addition, and the most critical, Siniang is very good at being a person, and her eight-sided delicate mother Lao Tzu You Shi, up and down are very favored by her, don't want to know, those people must know everything about her, think about it, all kinds of gossip to how much there is!
Qi Niang was happy in her heart, but her face was not leaking. She shouted that she was bored with her illness, and begged Siniang to accompany her, and the old lady immediately agreed, but she also dialed it together with Wuniang.
"In the future, Wu Niang will stay in Changfeng Hall, and you sisters will be in one place, so as to relieve boredom."
Qi Niang was stunned on the spot, but Si Niang was lively, "What Grandmother said is that the fifth sister is introverted, and it is really good to talk to our sisters more, otherwise one day she will be unfamiliar." ”
The old lady didn't say anything more, just looked at Wu Niang a few times, and then glanced at Qi Niang uneasily, and sighed out of the warm pavilion.
The three of them stayed in the house, except for Siniang, the other two were silent, and Qiniang directly pulled the quilt and lay down.
Siniang's eyebrows jumped, and her eyes became more and more unpredictable when she looked at Wu Niang.
"Fifth sister, I heard that you have made a good pot of tea, and the new Xilin black tea has just arrived today, I wonder if my sister has taken your craft orally?" Siniang smiled coquettishly.
"The fourth sister has won the award, and the younger sister will go to prepare, but the seventh sister is still taking medicine, but I'm afraid that I can't drink more, I'll make another pot of fragrant rice and fresh milk tea?" Wu Niang proposed.
Qi Niang was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded, how is it not good, as long as you leave the warm pavilion, it will be fine!
It's not that she doesn't want to see this fifth sister, but that day her roar is especially in her ears, and she sees her such a fierce and hateful side, and now she is like a little sheep every day and is pure white and harmless to you, how does Qi Niang look at it, it is like accidentally eating a live fly, disgusting!
When Wu Niang went out, Si Niang covered the door and sat on the edge of the bed, "Seventh sister, but is there something?" ”
Look, what a delicate and transparent person, just a few more glances at her, others have already understood.
Qi Niang is becoming more and more confident in her heart, with such a teammate, what is she not at ease!
Thinking like this, she poured out everything she saw and heard in one fell swoop, but she hid the scene where her grandmother and Wu Niang acted for her.
After listening, Siniang was stunned for a long time.
Qi Niang didn't stop, she had to take the hot iron, "Fourth sister, the third sister died unexplained, how can we rest assured?" ”
"However, my grandmother said that she would not pursue the matter." Siniang frowned.
"Fourth sister, grandmother doesn't pursue it, it's because of her old man's kindness, but we are different, the third sister is a sister with us, do we also turn a blind eye?" Qi Niang was in a hurry, and she couldn't think that Si Niang was good at anything, but she was too well-behaved and obedient.
"How much does that person hate the third sister, so that he can kill the killer and strangle her to death, besides, if he connives, this person continues to run rampant in the mansion, then he can kill the third sister out of nowhere, and he will definitely be able to kill his aunt in one fell swoop in the future, and even kill you and me, and kill my grandmother!"
"Fourth sister, it's not that I'm angry about this, but that such a murderer can't be connived!" Qi Niang said indignantly, and her chest couldn't stop rising and falling.
Siniang was speechless.
Seeing this, Qi Niang used a kind of "You just bear it? Xiaobai's eyes glanced at her from time to time, and sure enough, the guilt in Siniang's eyes became thicker and thicker.
Qi Niang took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Fourth sister, to put it in my heart, the third sister was not good when she was alive, it was really not good for anyone, if you talk about sisterhood, Qi Niang only recognizes you as a sister with her eyes closed, but blood is thicker than water, the third sister is no longer our sister, now, she died tragically, and the murderer is at large, my good sister, can you really rest assured?" The words are related, and the last sentence is even more ironic.
After saying that, she couldn't stop chattering in her own heart, oh yo, look at my mouth, it's really like a spring!
Siniang's face was ashamed, "It's my sister who is not thoughtful, and she dares to ask her sister, how to behave?" ”
Qi Niang's eyebrows lit up, oops, finally turned!
She got up one by one, attached it to Siniang's ear, and said it with a thunderbolt.
"So, is it possible?" Siniang wrinkled her little face, incredulous.
"It's feasible and feasible, but it's just to inquire, and we don't deliberately turn over old accounts." Qi Niang nodded like pounding garlic.
But Siniang's eyes clearly said: "You also know that you are turning over old accounts? ”
...... forehead, Qi Niang turned her head and dodged.
"In addition, we have to drag our grandmother, and we can't bury the third sister in a hurry."
"Restless?" Siniang was anxious at this time, "What should I do if I don't want to be buried, the deceased is big, not to mention that the weather in April is already hot and dry, and it has dragged on for a long time, I'm afraid that the third sister will ......"
Qi Niang was speechless, "It's buried like this, even if things are done decently after birth, the third sister will definitely be uneasy in the spirit of the sky." The weather is bound to get hotter and hotter, so Fourth Sister, we are pressed for time. ”
"However, my grandmother said that this matter should be copied secretly, and it must be done quickly, and we will kill it halfway, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed." Siniang expressed her worries in her heart.
"It's not difficult, it's difficult, but even so, I, Su Qi Niang, have to give it a try, it's best to find the real culprit, and if I can't find it, I can be worthy of my conscience." Qi Niang touched her chest with her right hand, her eyes were firm.
Siniang was infected and nodded resignedly.
So, the two sisters muttered a lot of things again, and it wasn't until Wu Niang entered the door with fragrant tea that they restored their previous lady image, but after that, the corners of Qi Niang's mouth kept slightly raised.
In the afternoon of the same day, Siniang personally went to find Da Lang, touched his nose of ash, and returned to the warm pavilion aggrievedly.
Wu Niang was asked by the old lady to copy "Nu De", and there were no outsiders inside and outside the warm pavilion.
"Sanniang should be damned, buried early, out of sight, not upset!" Qi Niang didn't believe it, "Big brother, really said that?" ”
Siniang sighed, "Really, he will never come forward to beg his grandmother to bury Sanniang later." ”
Well, my brother hates you so much, Sanniang, you are strong!
Qi Niang couldn't help but criticize in her heart.
"Then let's go to Xuanyu Hall together." She proposed.
"But...... Grandmother told you to recuperate in peace. ”
Qi Niang chuckled, "The eldest uncle's old illness has relapsed, and as a niece, he should go and take a look, not to mention that I still have two children." ”
Siniang looked at the silver needle bag in her hand silently.
So, the sisters went to Xuanyu Hall with great fanfare, and did not come back until twilight.
That night, the eldest man took the young Banniang to cry to the old lady, Changfeng Hall made trouble until midnight, the old lady finally bowed her head, and the three aunts parked for three more days.
When Qi Niang heard this, the big stone slab pressed in her heart was a little looser.
Immediately afterwards, the sisters began to act in full swing secretly, and one morning, a steady stream of information flowed into the warm pavilion, but at this time, Qi Niang was anxious!
Sanniang, how many sins have you created in front of your old body!
instructed his subordinates to injure the cook's son, and paralyzed other people's upright and prime-aged sons in bed; Chen's nurse received hundreds of slaps because she said a few more words, and several of the old man's front teeth were lost; Liu Zhixian's daughter was said to be beautiful to her, so she insulted people's reputation behind her back and ruined people's reputation, which led to gossip and discussions, and the county lord was openly mad, so she relented; Also, beating and scolding the people in the second room, bullying Wu Niang, abusing You Shi, jealous of Si Niang, and hating Qi Niang......
Hearing Siniang coming one by one, Qi Niang was completely black, and just wanted to say, Sanniang, why don't you die early?
There must always be a motive for killing, I thought that Siniang would bother to get some useful clues from each room and courtyard, but now it's good, there are a lot of clues, but there are as many as hemp, and Qi Niang's brain is even more messy!
"Seventh sister, don't ask if the third sister has caused trouble recently, preferably in the past month."
"Lately? It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and I don't think it makes sense to shorten the time frame. ”
Siniang frowned and said nothing.
"However, you can ask Sanniang about her recent whereabouts." Qi Niang's eyebrows lit up, "Why did Sanniang go to Cuiwei Lake in the middle of the night that night, why did she only take a little girl with her, there must be a problem in the middle." ”
Siniang looked stunned, and immediately got up and went out.
As soon as the door was closed, Qi Niang's face sank.
She didn't say that it was Wuniang who went to the lake with Sanniang that night.
She didn't say it, but she still hoped that there was something else hidden in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the news that came back in the afternoon did have another hidden meaning!
When Siniang came in, she also brought a little girl, who was waiting for Liuniang in Qingru Courtyard all the year round.
The others were fine, but Wu Niang, who was present, inadvertently trembled.
The replacement sheep in Murong Gongzi's mouth appeared?
After Qi Niang and Si Niang sang with a black face and a white face, the little girl cried and poured out everything that should be said and what should not be said.
It turned out that after Sanniang sprinkled a scene in Qingru Courtyard a few days ago, Wen's personal maid Ziyu held a grudge, and in order to ensure the safety of Liuniang who stayed in the water hermitage, the old lady specially bought Ziyu, and the girl who valued it had kung fu.
There are festivals, conflicts, and kung fu, and all the spearheads are pointed at the girl!
Siniang is a man of action, and without saying a word, she asked Ziyu to come over.
Wu Niang wanted to avoid it, but she didn't want Qi Niang to say a word to make her sit there and not dare to move.
"Fifth sister, take a good look!"
